Review of Phantom of the Paradise (1974) by Martin O — 29 Jan 2008
Brian De Palma, before he started ripping off Hitchcock. Awesome soundtrack (worth owning). This is what love stories are all about. Jessica Harper in her gorgeous prime. I'd kill for a Phantom helmet and leather suit.
First saw this when I was about 5, and the image of Beef being electrocuted by a neon lightning bolt burned into my psyche forever. Love it.
